Used everyday so far, but use other cars as well - the Labrador loves it

, which is just in the nick of time really, as there are "MAJOR" roadworks starting up in my area soon so the bike will be most welcome, even if it might be -0deg temps

My daily driver after my Vauxhall Zafira decided it would rather site on the driveway.
Costing a bomb but I always preferred to drive the landy to work. It's a lot cooler. Especially in winter, when it's bloody freezing!  1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top |

I wish I could afford to run mine everyday. Just had it MOT'd a week ago and managed an embarrassing 1500 miles this year!

Yes .. every day. 120 mile round trip commute to work. Previously had a very dull Mercedes E320 CDI Estate for the job (yawn).
Hooked on the 110. 2008 Defender 110 XS SW - M57N2 / 8HP70X |

It depends. If I am at home I use my 90. If I work within The Netherlands I most off the time use my 90. Outside The Netherlands I use my Disco 3 or I fly.
I like my 90 but for a drive to Poland or Chech republic I prefer my disco3.  Roel

Yes daily drive, out at the weekends for fun.
Use the D3 for any distance though. DRW I built a garage for my Mini With a place for everything and everthing in its place. Ten years down the line there's a Mini in there somewhere, and  all's where it should be!!!! Ho hum |

Roel, thinking of fuel consumption I think I'd still prefer a Defender for a long trip.

Daily drive for me
after a sh!!ty day at work I need to put a smile on my face I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine |

Like the previous poster, it puts a smile on my face every time I get in, and the Defender is fairly comfortable compared to my old series 3! |
